Because you remember the wrong words. Ugh.
(Also, it can make you a little teary, which can make you a bit congested before your concert.)
I particularly enjoy when the words of Christmas songs are altered for slightly dumb reasons, such as the line in "The Little Drummer Boy" being changed to "where ox and lamb are feeding." I recently heard a version of "Silent Night" where a choir swells in wordless splendor, so you can't hear Mr. Sinatra say "virgin." That one was great.
If you want a great Christmas song, check out "Adoration" by the Newsboys. Powerful and thought-provoking, especially the repetitions of certain phrases. Very well done.
Have you heard any examples of dumb Christmas song word changes recently?
